You struggle, and study and sweat.
But the score isn’t there.

You feel like you just keep trying, and torturing yourself to be better.
And it’s never enough. Never enough. Never ever enough.

Always just missing the mark by inches. By a point. By a letter.
It will all work out.
Life is about the struggle.
Life is about the misses.
Life is about reaching to make the grade.
